The Mom Next Door: Stories of Faith

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

1️⃣ Embrace Gratitude: even in tough situations.

2️⃣ Trust in God's Timing: He has a plan.

3️⃣ Live with Joy as a Christian Woman: there is no divide between joy and happiness. We embrace joy as a reflection of the good news of Jesus.

Let's live with joy, share good news, and be lights in the world.

Stephanie Davis grew up playing youth sports which played a significant role in shaping who she is today. Stephanie is part of the Miracle League, a nonprofit organization that provides fully accessible sports programs for children and adults with disabilities. We hope you are inspired to reach out to a Miracle League near you and see where you can serve.

For the Davis family, bearing one another's burden takes place on the field as well as through health care sharing. Today we also chat about how their financial needs were met during a medical crisis in their family.

To hear more about healthcare sharing with Samaritan Ministries, check out their website SamaritanMinistries.org

The Miracle League also has a website MiracleLeague.com and you can find them on Facebook at The Miracle League and on YouTube
